Interesting! I know they are viewed as invasive in Australia but they are typically (depending on species) algae-eating for the most part, although they will eat live food as well. Those weird lips you see on the close up photo are designed to scrape algae off rocks and reeds, this is why they can be tricky to catch on lures outside of the spawning season.

We have Tilapia in Florida too. They are spunky fighters and I think that I have caught all of my Tilapia on Strike King Bitsy Minnows.
